Biscuit Cake Trifle

Almost all of the recipes in my Friendship Week Featured Recipes run are traditional Indian recipes, well, with one exception from Jordan. But when I approached Kusum aunty with a recipe request, I knew it had to be different. I couldn't have been more right.

No less than I uttered the word dessert, aunty suggested we prepare this Biscuit Pudding and I did not need further convincing just because it was her who told me it was absolutely delicious. Such is her talent in the kitchen. I bow low to her when it comes to cooking and presenting food. She almost always has some new creative recipes with the simplest ingredients that you feel you are on the sets of Ripley's Believe It or Not.

She is my friend Prakhar's mom, who is my friend since even before we began attending the same school. Our dads are friends and and that led us to attending the get-togethers and birthday parties we had as kids. It's fun to see all those pictures now. We were the same height once. Now I have to crane my neck to look at him while talking. So not fair God! He is one of the few guys I know who is almost always up for fun and loves planning and participating in fun activities and always tries to bring people together.

For this trifle, we are first going to prepare a biscuit cake. The cake is easy to prepare, yummy on its own but the trifle layers take it to whole another level. And you need not worry about the cake if you are new at baking. This cake recipe just never falls out.
